LOCATION

The City of Five Flags is located in the Panhandle of Florida between Tallahassee Florida and Mobile Alabama.  It is about 3 hours from New Orleans.

Pensacola is the seat of Escambia County at the western end of Florida’s Panhandle. It is in the Central Time Zone. The county covers 661 square miles, from the coast up through rolling forests that once supplied timber for the world market. Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island is located in Escambia County. However, the peninsula that rests between the city and its beach belongs to neighboring Santa Rosa County.

CiThe majority of travelers enter via Interstate 10, which connects to Pensacola via the I-110 spur. For a slower-paced route, U.S. 90 and 98 also pass through from east to west. U.S. 29 provides north-south access. Many enter Florida from Alabama through Perdido Key on State Road 292.

Scenic Highway, the stretch of U.S. 90 that heads northeast from Pensacola toward Tallahassee, is designated an official Florida Scenic Highway. The bluffs of bright red clay offer views of Escambia Bay
